Terms and Conditions

Presentation:

The [City].vi network is a project from the City Media foundation, citymediafoundation.org.
[City].vi is a network made up of 68,000 video sites, each dedicated to a city in the world.What makes [City].vi different from other similar Internet projects is its address model concept:in the address bar, you can type any city name followed by “.vi” (vi for video).
For example: paris.vi, athens.vi, chicago.vi, losangeles.vi, etc..
The [City].vi network aims to become the leading resource for local video content.
Our strategy: Working with relevant Site Administrators worldwide.

Administrator income:

The administrator receives revenue directly without us being involved and he or she sets all the prices themselves.

The administrator receives 2/3 of the revenue from business accounts created on the site:
- Businesses pay to appear in the business listings.
- Businesses pay to display their advertising under site videos (see winnipeg.vi)

The administrator receives all the income from other revenue sources. This revenue is controlled by administrators themselves, without our involvement. Therefore it is up to the administrator to set up an arrangement with the businesses concerned:
- The administrator can generate income by displaying promotional videos directly on video pages, for hotels and restaurants for instance.
- It is also possible to generate income by referencing other sites on the site Links page.
- The administrator can also generate revenue by promoting a particular event or place using the site background image.

Among the features:

Customize the site when you want, by selecting colors and the background picture.Visit other city sites to see the various atmospheres you can give to a Site.
Just enter the code of the traffic analyzers you use (Google Analytics, etc.. ) to obtain traffic datafor all Site pages.
You control all Site content and all videos: you decide their title, the order in which they appear, etc..

Why work with us:

The local information industry is booming like the video industry:
http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/14/online-local-advertising-20-billion/

With the address model concept (“city name” followed by “.vi”) your site is made instinctively accessible like any other site in the [City].vi network.

As part of the [City].vi network, your site benefits from traffic from other [City].vi sites as 35% of visitors come from another [City].vi site. Local promotion operated by all sites Administrators will combine to provide a powerful network effect.

Over time, the videos on the network can potentially cover any requirement for local information: tours, news, events, businesses, etc..

[City].vi sites are open to the web by allowing video embedding from other sites, thus benefiting from the widest range of sources.

You are part of the [City].vi community and private Facebook group so you can share your experience with other [City].vi site administrators worldwide.

You have no costs or technical constraints.
Free hosting, unlimited bandwidth, free online support.

We are always on the go, constantly working on improving the Site model used on the network and reach our goal to become the leading resource for local video content.

Next improvements we are working on:
- topics location on map.
- sites in 24 languages.
- automatic email to inform your local citizens of new videos each day.
- and more..
